Your AI Agent Is Leaking Your Secrets

I audited a secret manager that had AES-256-GCM, X25519 sealed responses, ACLs, and attestation. It leaked secrets in the simplest way possible: the exec command passed child stdout straight to the model. No interception, no scrubbing. Here's how I found it, why it matters, and how veil fixes it — mandatory output scrubbing, no raw output by default, sealed mode as the only mode.

99 MB to 71 KB: rewriting MiniStats in Machin

MiniStats is a real-time metrics dashboard built with Bun — the binary is 99 MB because it bundles the entire runtime. I rewrote it in Machin/MFL, a language that compiles through C. The binary is 71 KB. That's a 1400× reduction. Same features, same dashboard, same commands.

A 100 KB Git-Like VCS That Beats Git at Its Own Game — Why I Built lume

lume is a 100 KB native version-control system written in machin/MFL. It is git-like, not git-based, and it now benchmarks faster than git for add+commit on 110 small files.

Machin in Production — Real Products Built with MFL

A language that optimizes for AI generation over human readability sounds good in theory, but theory does not ship products. Here is what we have actually built with machin — running in production today: auth broker, webhook relay, browser REPL, terminal emulator, and more.
